    Default How do I set a compulsory option?

    I have a product that has an option, let's say the option is "size". Buyers must select a "size" but i do not want to set a default as it may result in the order being placed with the wrong size.

    How can I make it compulsory for the byer to select one of the options under "size"?

    Default Re: How do I set a compulsory option?

    Create an Option Value named "Please Choose..."
    Click the "Display Only" setting for it,
    and also the "Default" setting.

    That way it will be auto-selected by default, and if someone adds it to their cart with that default "display only" choice selected, they will be given an error message which tells them they still need to select an appropriate choice.

    Works best with Dropdowns.
